Joe Biden's campaign is quietly testing the strength of Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head survey of voters, as Biden fights for his political future with a high-stakes news conference Thursday. The survey, which is being conducted this week and was commissioned by the Biden campaign's analytics team, is believed to be the first time since the debate that Biden's aides have sought to measure how the vice president would fare at the top of the ticket. It was described by three people who are informed about it and insisted on anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information. They did not specify why the survey was being conducted or what the campaign planned to do with the results. It could be read as the team gathering information to present a case to the president that his path forward is slim, or to argue that Biden is still the strongest standard-bearer for his party. The effort comes as some longtime aides and advisers to Biden are said to have become increasingly convinced that he will have to step aside from the campaign, and in recent days have been trying to come up with ways to convince him that he should, The New York Times reported Thursday. A growing number of prominent lawmakers have called for Biden to drop out or suggest he should reconsider his plans to run.

Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Champai Soren's appointment as the state chief minister in February to replace Hemant Soren was as dramatic as his exit from the post five months later. Champai Soren, who once tilled fields with his father in a remote village in Jharkhand's Saraikela-Kharsawan district, took oath as the chief minister on February 2, days after his predecessor Hemant Soren resigned, just before he was arrested by the ED in a money laundering case. Hemant was released from jail on June 28 after the high court granted him bail, and on Wednesday, he was elected the party's legislature party leader. Champai submitted his resignation letter to the governor as chief minister to pave the way for Hemant Soren, who was sworn in as the chief minister for the third time.

Joe Biden has refused to pull out of the race for the White House in the most unambiguous words, some people believe that he would have to step aside sooner or later and it is not the question of if but when. In an article published in 'New York Post', journalist Henry Olsen wrote that a candidate can come back from a deficit of six points, but before the disastrous first presidential debate on June 27, Biden had the lowest job approval ratings of any first-term president in history. It would be difficult for him to make a comeback from where he is after the debate. The data leaked by Open Labs made it clear that the Democrat contender is behind or tied in normally Democratic states like Minnesota, New Mexico and Virginia. These data were consistent with a 6-point deficit, which is a 10.5-point drop from Biden’s 2020 victory margin. So, there is an uphill task for the incumbent president.

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has dismissed suggestions that his party is heading to defeat in Thursday’s general election

Britain looks set to elect Labour Party leader Keir Starmer as its next prime minister when voters go to the polls on Thursday, sweeping Rishi Sunak's Conservatives out of office after 14 often turbulent years. Opinion polls put Starmer's centre-left party on course for a landslide victory as voters turn their backs on the Conservatives following a period of infighting and turmoil that led to five prime ministers in eight years. However, surveys show many voters simply want change, rather than fervently backing Labour, meaning Starmer could enter office with one of the biggest to-do lists in British history but without a groundswell of support or the financial resources to tackle it.
